It was issued by the Cieszyn Rifle Society in 1882. It replaced the old building at ul. Jana Michejda (in the Polish part of Cieszyn), used since the founding of the Society in 1795, which turned out to be too small for its needs. The Shooting Society (Schützengesellschaft) was founded by Cieszyn townspeople who referred to the tradition of the so-called Fowler brotherhoods, in which, since the Middle Ages, their shooting skills were practiced while defending the city walls. The members of the Society received the permission of the authorities to organize shooting competitions, and the first of them was held on April 24, 1796, on St. George. In 1802, the Society bought the property from Fr. Leopold Jan Szersznik, a garden with buildings in Frysztackie Przedmieście, which it had already leased. The official opening of the "New Shooting Range", because that was the name that clung to it, was held on October 22, 1882 by Archduke Albrecht Habsburg, who arrived especially for this ceremony. On this occasion, a shooting competition was organized, which was won by Albert Blumenthal and the archduke ranger Reidl. Eight years later, in 1890, the shooting range was expanded to include extensions containing a restaurant, a dome room and apartments. At the same time, the facade of the building facing the street was unified in style. The reconstruction project and the construction works were carried out by Ludwik Kametz's company. The shooting range was designed as a classicist building with a one-story central body, covered with a domed roof and two one-story wings adjacent to it. The facade is decorated with rustication stripes and rich cornices. On the ground floor there is still a representative room with semicircular windows and eclectic stucco. Behind the building there was a spacious garden, used for competitions and shooting games. After World War I, the Society continued its activities, but in an increasingly limited form due to the division of the city. It ceased to exist after 1945. In 1947, the "Children and Youth House" was placed in the former Strzelnica, now transformed into the "Strzelnica" Cultural and Social Center (Kulturní a společenské středisko "Střelnice").
